Linux version of the console command 'pwd' no longer prints random garbage

Cleaned up the Linux makefile to remove the directory dependancy

Created just a 'Data' package, and different Windows and Linux binaries

Thursday 9th May - 2002 New Version and SourceCode

Version 1.1 released.

The sourcecode is now available. Grab it now and compile away. Included in the sourceCode is a RedHat 7.1 binary. Don't ask me any questions about it, I only know enough Linux to compile, and thats it.

The new version is only a minor update and includes a menu system before starting a game. Needs a bit of polish, but it does the job at the moment.

What
is it
SDL_Para is a port of the Classic C64 game Paradroid. It has been updated
to run on most machines without needing a emulator of any sort. I needed
a project to work on while learning SDL and programming, and when I had
a C64 I couldn't stop playing Paradroid.

How
do I play
You start off as a 'Influence device', your task is to clear the ship
of all the rogue robots. Movement is by the arrow keys, Left control is
the action key. Press it while you are moving and you will shoot your
lasers, hold it down while not moving and you will go into transfer mode.
This allows you to take over other droids. Pressing it down while over
a terminal will take you into the ships computers, where you can view
information about droid, ship view and a map of your current level.

There
are also instructions that scroll by at the start of the game.

Press
ESC at any time to exit the game.

Pressing
the ` key (just above the TAB key on my keyboard) will show the game's console, type 'help' for the commands available.

Huge thanks to Mads Bondo Dydensborg for sending in a patch file to compile and fix up the Linux version.

INSTALL
The Game data package contains two directories, it should be unzipped into a directory of your choice. Be careful to keep the directory structure. The binary file should then be unzipped into the directory of your choice. It should be in the level above the 'Data' and 'Shots' directories.
